League of Legends: Clash of Fates Summary

It never ceases to amaze me how disabled video game fans manage to play their favourite games. Massimiliano Sechi, for example, has no hands; that hasn't stopped him from reaching Diamond level in League of Legends.

Puts my own hopelessness at Riot's game into sharp perspective. Sechi, or 'MacsHG' as he's known in the community, is the subject of the first installment in a new documentary series from Razer that looks at various gamers across all cultures and backgrounds.

There's a ruckus over on Twitch and it’s got eSports exclusivity contracts written all over it. One streamer decided to show eSports player Sanghyuk “Faker” Lee's games through his channel, leading to a DMCA notice.

However the DMCA issued by streaming platform Azubu is in fact powerless, as Riot Games' terms and conditions for League of Legends state users "acknowledge and agree" that they have "no ownership" of content.

Riot Games has just patched League of Legends to 5.3, but there's still no solution to the Deathfire Grasp item issue. They need an "extra cycle to build confidence." They've also "delayed a few dudes" they had promised.

The studio is gearing up patch 5.4 for the changes, so 5.3 is more 'laying the groundwork' for the next update. Deathfire Grasp was removed because of balance concerns, but they "haven't seen a real impact".
